Yes you can use the resulting code of EEF generation can be included in
any SWT/JFace element.

You can add your own widget but there is some steps to follow. The first
step is to declare a new variale in a toolkit, but, the toolkit use by
eef by default are models in plugins so you can't modify it. If you want
to declare a new widget, create a new "Toolkits" model. After that, you
have to involve the EEF generating module to describ how to generate the
code for your widget
This part isn't described yet in our docs, if you encountered troubles
to adding widget don't hesitate to ask on the forum.

Hi,
You're right for the moment the get/setting of the form is only possible
widget by widget, we haven't a system of ContentProvider which is a good
idea.
But I didn't understand what is the need behind your question ?

Hello Nuno,
I think you use the code generated with EEF in a wrong way. To include
the code in another graphical component that those in the EEF runtime,
you have to create an PropertiesEditionComponent associated to EObject
to edit (with the EEF providers) and then ask this component to create
the views for your EObject.
The component will synchronized the view and the model, so you to don't
have to use the get/set of the view. The EditPropertyWizard is a good
example for this !
